Health & Physical Education

Health and Physical Education at John XXIII College aims to provide an enjoyable and satisfying program, with opportunities for every student to develop physically, socially, emotionally and cognitively. The H&PE curriculum offers a comprehensive range of learning experiences to meet the needs of individual students and encourage active involvement by all as performers, observers and officials.

We are currently revising our schemes of work to provide structure and development to ensure all our students experience progression, challenge and a sense of achievement. The sympathetic selection of learning tasks appropriate to students' experience, ability and maturity aims to support all students in two ways. Firstly, in the development of physical competence and secondly promote those skills necessary to effectively plan and reflect for a healthy lifestyle, movement and movement‑related activities, safely and with confidence.

The development of tolerance, a sense of fair play and good sporting behaviour are considered to be essential elements of the learning process. Through the active participation in a variety of roles within the activities experienced, students will be encouraged to appreciate their own and others' strengths and weaknesses, and respond appropriately to the needs of the individuals and groups. It is intended that the programme offered, together with an awareness of leisure opportunities within the community, will develop those skills and attitudes conductive to the involvement in an active and healthy lifestyle.
